HEAL 2

Leading Fearlessly,
Transforming Relationships

What would you make possible in your practice and patients if you could take away fear? How would your days or leadership be different if you you were less stressed or triggered by difficult people or situations?

HEAL2 is your chance to find out.

Be connected. Be fearless. And you help others be the same

Experience the unshakeable resilience and healing effects of skillfully working with fear in yourself and others.

  • Face into self-limiting fears and free yourself

  • Flip from useless outer blaming to productive inner work

  • Learn how to interrupt and rework fear-based habits

  • Leverage the neuroscience of “I” and “we”

  • Discover how trauma distorts the present

  • Identify what triggers conflict for people in each of the energy patterns and what they need to move forward

  • Explore how some needs can never be filled enough and what to do about them

  • Flip drama triangles to empowering relationships

  • Apply these learnings to real cases and relationships in your own healthcare practice

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We design our online agendas with options, so that they work with time zones around the world. When necessary, we also record sessions so that no one has to attend beyond midnight local time.

  • Your prgram fee covers all meals and lodging for the weekend. You’ll be treated to the sensational cooking of a Zen Master chef. Lodging is at the beautiful Silverstar Inn, about a 10-minute drive from the Dojo venue.

  • If you’re already familiar with the FEBI energy patterns (e.g., from FEBI-4U), you can take HEAL2 before HEAL1 and you won’t be lost. But you will want to pick up HEAL1 later as the programs work together as a set.

  • No worries, we can transfer your registration forward to a future offering or you may be eligible for a refund. See our cancellation policy here.

  • You still qualify to attend the program. If you’re committed to making a positive difference in your personal or professional life, you fit our definition of leader, and we’re here to help you do it better.

  • IZL’s CMEs are accredited through SSM Health, which is connected to the EEDS CME Credit system. Upon completion of a HEAL program, IZL will send you the Activity Code for that program and you can log in and claim your hours.


  • No, our training is compatible with any religion or none at all. We introduce physical Zen training, including meditation, to help you break through barriers and free the mind. We don't ask you to believe anything; our training is more like a foundation for enriching your life.
